ACS encourages parents to monitor their
children's activities inside of ALL chat rooms.

Chat rooms allow you to talk ("type") with others while online. Here is a list of links to chat
rooms on the Internet. There are literally hundreds of thousands of chat servers.
We have only listed a few on this site.

ICQ : Simple program, easy
to use, allows you to check mail at intervals. More of an
"Instant
Messenger" type of program, although it gives the ability to chat as well.

Yahoo Chat : Java chat
where you will need to sign-up to use. It is web-based and java chats are
generally pretty simple to use.

Roger Wilco : A program
you can use to actually talk with other users on the internet. Comes in
handy with some games, can be voice activated or button activated.
We
would recommend that you have a robust Internet connection to use this program and a
computer with a fast processor, because it is a memory hog and
will really eat away at your bandwidth!

mIRC : IRC
(which
stands for "Internet Relay Chat" is generally for more advanced users. It
requires a client download (mIRC) which you can use to connect to IRC servers
around the world. Allows you to transfer files and has a feature where
you can serve/receive files
